Hello, I’m Dr. Poonam Sharma. As a psychologist practicing for over 20 years, it breaks my heart to watch strong, capable women like you struggling with one of the most important relationships of your life. At Strong Women, Strong Love, my goal is to walk you through the 5 KEY MOVES that keep the love and passion alive in your marriage.

I know how incredibly busy you are, so I’ve done all the hard work for you. There’s no need for guesswork. Top relationship experts have already discovered the essential keys to building the strong and happy relationship you desire. I have been trained by the leading marriage experts in the world, like John Gottman, Sue Johnson, Esther Perel, Terry Real, Janis Abram Spring, Michele Weiner-Davis and Harville Hendrix. I want you to have access to what these professionals know about making marriage work. This was the motivation behind writing my award-winning book, Strong Women, Strong Love: The Missing Manual for the Modern Marriage.

You deserve a relationship where you feel cherished, appreciated and fully supported by your husband. Let me show you how!

Back before Thanksgiving, you gave yourself an ultimatum: I’m just going to get through the holidays, and then I’m telling him it’s over. Now here we are in the new year, and it’s your moment of truth. You have to make the final call: Should you leave your husband?

This is one of the most wrenching decisions a woman can face. As you consider ending your marriage, know that you’re far from alone. Women are thought to initiate between 70 percent and 80 percent of divorces.

Some of those marriages, of course, are irretrievably broken. Others, though, could be saved. Without counseling you in person, I can’t know which category your own marriage falls into. But what can I do is give you some final questions to consider before you leave so that you can be at peace with your decision, whatever it turns out to be.

Did this year fly by for you, too? If you’ve missed any of the marriage advice articles from 2018, here’s your chance to catch up with the most popular posts. These are the five articles that resonated most with readers of the Strong Women, Strong Love blog and newsletter this year. To read each article, just click on its title. I’ve also included some suggestions for further reading so that you can continue to explore the topics that are most relevant to your marriage.

Sometimes looking at your social media feeds can give you an inferiority complex about your relationship. Other couples seem to be taking more romantic trips, giving more beautiful gifts, posting more effusive birthday tributes to each other, living in fancier houses and even looking more in love in their photos.

It’s time for a reality check: 1) You don’t know what’s truly going on with other people. 2) The things I described above don’t actually have a lot to do with how good a marriage is.

Instead of comparing yourself with other couples, there’s a better way to gauge the health of your relationship. Take a look at the list below. If statements like these describe your marriage, then you and your husband are doing awesome — even if your life doesn’t seem very Instagram-able sometimes.
